Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg UK Gilt 1-5Yr Float Adjusted Index (the “Index”).
- The Index is designed to reflect the universe of float adjusted fixed-rate investment grade GBP-denominated sovereign debt issued by the government of the United Kingdom, with maturities of between one and up to, but not including, five years and which have a par amount (i.e. the amount of money that issuers agree to repay to the purchaser at the bond's maturity) outstanding greater than or equal to £200 million.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
